Spied: Could this be the Ford Ranger and the Bronco?

The Ranger is obvious, but it looks like Ford's Everest will have a new name in the US

The Ford Ranger is back -- well, almost. The midsize pickup looks like it’s getting ready for its U.S. return in this full-camo spy shot, taken by sharp-eyed Autoweek reader Sean T. Next to the camo-clad Ranger is what could be the next Ford Bronco. The Ford Everest, or Ford Endeavour depending on where it’s sold, is likely the foundation for the next-gen Bronco considering it’s a four-door off-road-ready SUV, which sounds about what Ford wants the next Bronco to be.

Of course, there’s still hope for a boxy-looking Bronco, and the Everest could get the appropriate sheetmetal changes to make it look the part of an aggressive off-roader. Only camouflaging the Everest’s front might be a sign that is happening, or that Ford doesn’t think Americans will recognize the non-U.S. market SUV. Considering the Bronco isn’t slated to make its return for a couple of years, anything is possible.

The Ranger, however, is sporting camouflage all over its cab and bed, leading us to believe it’s getting close to its production shape, and with it possibly making a debut at the 2018 Detroit auto show, it should be close to done.
